Biden asked an ABC News reporter if he considered Putin a murderer. Excerpts from an interview with an American leader can be found on the television channel’s website.
The journalist asked Biden: “You know Vladimir Putin. Do you think he is a murderer?
“Hmm, yes,” replied the President of the United States.
Biden also added that Putin would “pay” to interfere in the US elections. He says he warned the Russian president about it in January.
“We talked for a long time … I know him well. Our dialogue began with my words: I know you, you know me. If I’m sure this has happened, get ready,” said the American leader.
However, the president of the United States did not rule out the possibility of greater cooperation with Russia in various fields and gave an example: the disarmament agreement signed between the United States and Russia, which lasted for five years.

Russia targeted the 2020 U.S. elections
On Tuesday, the US Departments of Homeland Security and Justice announced that Russia had targeted electoral infrastructure during the 2020 US elections.
“The large-scale campaigns by Russia and Iran against several key infrastructure sectors have certainly endangered the security of the road networks that handled some of the electoral functions,” said the joint statement from these government agencies.
“However, they did not materially affect voter data, voting opportunities, tabulation, or the timely transmission of election results,” the statement said.
Actors linked to the Russian, Iranian and Chinese governments have also “substantially affected” the security of networks involving US political organizations, candidates and election campaigns, the agencies said.
“Several of these actors have gathered at least some information that could have been released during the operations to influence, but in the end we have not seen any material of this type distributed, altered or destroyed,” says the report.
According to the statement, “there is no evidence that any actor affiliated with a foreign government has obstructed, altered or eliminated the counting of votes or the transmission of electoral results.”
Specifically, the departments have denied the conspiracy theory spread by former President Donald Trump’s campaign attorneys that a tabloid company was linked to Venezuela and rigged the election results in favor of his opponent, J. Biden.
The report says these public statements have been investigated, “deemed unreliable.”
The report’s authors claimed that they only explained the impact of foreign government activities on the security and fairness of the electoral infrastructure.
“The impact of foreign governments on public perceptions or the behavior of some voters has not been examined, nor has the impact of non-state actors such as cybercriminals been examined,” the report said.
Democratic Senator Mark Warner, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the report “highlights the continued and tireless efforts of our opponents to influence our elections.”
“Russia in particular has gone to great lengths to influence the election results, not just in 2020, but, as we all remember, in 2016,” he said.
“The problem of foreign actors trying to influence American voters will not go away and, given the current partisan differences in the country, it may find favorable ground to grow in the future,” the senator warned.
